13.14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​

Physics

Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

ryzh [129]
F = m . g  = 76.5 x 9..8 = 749.7
Net Force = 3225 - 749.7 = 2475.3

F = m.a
2475.3 = 76.5 a

a  = 32.35



V = at + v1
V = at + 0
V = 32.35 x 0.15
V = 4.8525

Hope this helps

What is potential energy
valkas [14]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.
